Getting Marriage on Paper

Lady Bladder

Geck... Geck... Geck...

"Come in" said Mr. Aristya.

Chequek..

El opened the door to his mother's room. Invite Chika and El to meet their parents who have long missed their arrival.

"Mah's morning, pah. Look who El brought," said El.

"Chika..," said Mrs Sarah. The two eyes of the middle-aged old man were instantly fixed on the little boy who was carrying El.

"Is he your son, son?" sahut Lord Aristya.

"Yes," answered El.

El and Chika then walked over to Lady Sarah's bed. Chika's eyes encode El to pick up the phone that is in Kie's hands.

"Yes, yes" whispered El. "Kie, papa's phone hold it first."

" Yes pah."

Lady Sarah's eyes were covered in water. He opened his arms wide, welcoming his beloved daughter-in-law whom he had long sought.

"Lolly, here baby," said Mrs Sarah.

"Yes," Chika replied as she walked over to her mother-in-law.

Chika instantly received her mother-in-law's hand span. The atmosphere of Haru is very felt. It was not only Lady Sarah, Mr. Aristya's eyes were glazed over, looking at the handsome little boy before him.

"El, your son is very handsome" said Mr. Aristya.

"Yes dong pah. Come on, Kie, greetings to the opa" said El.

"Yes pah. Hi opa, my name is Kie. Greetings to know the opa," said Kie while showing her handsome smile, making all those there became anxious with the behavior of the cute little boy.

The happiness of the Aristyan family has returned. This four-year problem is over. Chika had not expected, her departure made El suffer too. After Lady Sarah and Mr. Aristya recounted the strain of their relationship.

"So, El's not your mom and dad's kid?" ask Chika. His eyes were round and pushy, staring at El who had been hiding his identity all along.

"Yes darling. El is not our son. But until whenever he remains our son" replied Lady Sarah.

"Mas, why don't you tell me the same thing. He said there should be no more secrets between us" Chika said. His eyes began to glaze over. She had misjudged her husband all along.

"Sstt.., it's all gone. Now the point is that we have all gathered together again like before" replied El.

"Yes Chika. Consider it all a nightmare, son. Hopefully after your household ordeal yesterday, your relationship with El will be more harmonious" said Mrs Sarah.

"Amin mah" answered both compactly.

From the moment they chatted, there were no voices from Master Aristya and Kie. Apparently ipa and his grandson were busy playing games on his opa mobile phone.

"Kie," call Chika.

"Yes, um."

"So mommy and dad said. Don't play with the phone."

"But mah.."

"Already Chika, let Kie play with papa ya. Come on Kie, go on again" said Mr. Aristya.

"Yes opa."

Upset, Chika turned her face away. He looked back at El, but El smiled as he shook his head.

"Arghh," Chika snorted in annoyance.

"Chika, just tell me. Maybe by playing mobile phone Kie wants to be on the bench just as much as he would. Mild than you are upset, now you tell the same mama where have you been all this time?"

"Yes mah. El was curious too. Chika hasn't told me where she's been all this time" El said.

"Huh, so Chika hasn't told you the same story yet?" mama and El asked, shaking their heads.

Chika glanced at the eyes of her husband who was beside her. "Cih, you little prankster," his mind was upset.

"Let's kid, tell us the same story now."

"Dear, I'm also curious to know" added El.

"Alright, Chika will tell you now. So all this time (Chika began to tell the beginning of her meeting with Bu Asih, until finally her adoptive mother died and asked her to return to Jakarta). So it's reward, mah, mas the story," explained Chika.

Reflek, El hugged Chika while crying sobbing. So because of his stupidity first, his wife and son lived a life of deprivation. El's regret deepened. But Chika kept trying to calm El from her crying.

"I'm sorry, honey. I am not a good husband and father" El said.

"Eh, not mas. I was wrong too. We are less open to each other. So there are even misunderstandings. Stop blaming yourself. I never asked for much from you. Just please change your temperamental attitude."

"Yes dear. Surely I will change for you and Kie" replied El while carrying Chika into his arms.

Lord Aristya and Lady Sarah threw their gazes at each other. Hearing the story of Chika, they are sure if Chika has been living with her own in-laws who are none other than the mother of El.

"Chika, can you ask me something?" said Mrs Sarah. El immediately took off his wife's embrace.

"Ask what mah?"

"Is the woman who helped you looking for her son Sivano?" ask Mrs Sarah.

Chika nodded. "Yes, my mom knows. That's why I gave the name Basuki Sivano because of the request of Bu Asih mah. The son he left in the orphanage was named after Kie now" he replied.

Lady Sarah's eyes turned to her husband. And Master Aristya just nodded. Maybe these two beliefs are the same. If El is the Son of Bu Asih.

Mr. Aristya, who had only listened to their conversation, started to get up after putting Kie on the sofa.

"El, do you remember your nickname?" ask Mr. Aristya.

"Yes pah. The mother of the parlour called me Vano," replied El.

"Chika, is that woman named Asih your same story where she left her son in which orphanage?"

Chika nodded her head. "Yes reward, if not wrong in the orphanage of Mother's Light."

Duaarr...

El was shocked not to play. It was the name of the orphanage where he lived before the adoption of the Aristya family.

Understanding the purpose of this conversation, El immediately looked into the eyes of his mother and adoptive father alternately.

"Don't you, the son of the woman who helped Chika is my reward, mah?" ask El.

Lady Sarah and Mr. Aristya remained silent.

"Yes. Nope. Mom told me that her son died shortly after she left him at the orphanage. People said mom, mommy's own home that story really," said Chika.

"No Chika. The mother's son who helped you is El," Lady Sarah interrupted the conversation.

"I mean mama?"

"Yes El. Home mom once told us the same story, actually beside your box on the deck, there is a given name from your biological mother. And it's the same name as your son, Basuki Sivano. That's why I must have given you your name Vano. But when we adopted you, we asked the head of the parlor to make you feel like you were about to die. We knew that your mother would take you, because in the letter she left. He'll take you back. Forgive us, El. We had to do this. Because we don't want to lose you El. Especially your mom, so dear to you. So I'm sure, Asih's your real mother El" explained Mr. Aristya.

"NO!!" answer El.

Chika's mouth is still open. He did not believe, it turns out that four years he even lived together with his original in-laws.

In the middle of a gripping atmosphere. Quite unexpectedly El was not angry at his adoptive parents.

"It's not my fault, papa and mama. That woman is not my real mother. No mother is willing to throw away her own child. And forever, El's parents are just you" El said with a sharp, flat eye and an irregular breath.

"El," said Lady Sarah.

"Mas, you don't talk like this. That mother.. "

"Stop Chika, don't defend her. Mah, pah, El come out first," said El.

"Mas" cried Chika. Dear El who is still full of anger does not pay attention to his call.

El's out of the room. Chika is about to chase after him, but Lady Sarah and Mr. Aristya hold her back and ask Chika to give herself time for El.

On the outside chair, El vented his emotions. Hitting a wall as a way to get rid of his anger.

"Why the woman who dumped me in the orphanage helped my wife and son. Why should he be God. I hate him so much. Until whenever I will not forgive him, even though he is dead," cried El as he continued to hit the wall while rubbing his face rough. "Arghh..," the voice came out of his mouth.
